Over the past few months, many members have inquired as
to if they can set up re-occuring monthly bill payments
to the same payee for the same amount and if it is
possible to schedule bill payments to be posted in
advance for vacations. We have heard your requests
and responded! Thanks to our friends at First US
Credit Union in Sacramento for sharing the code to make
this possible...

When you click on the Bill Payment link, you will be
presented with a list of all your payees, showing the
payee ID, the name, your account number with the payee,
the amount last posted, the date last posted, the next
scheduled posting amount, and the next scheduled posting
date. The list is further divided into "On Demand Bill
Payments" (different amounts and dates each month) and
"Automatic Bill Payments" (scheduled to occur on the
same day for the same amount each month). Below the
lists are the options for adding a new payee,
viewing/changing payee information, paying a bill,
deleting a bill and stopping a scheduled payment.
Selecting one of these options and the corresponding payee
will direct to to further menus for completing your
request. Below are an explanation of each option.

This option is used to add a new payee. You will need a
copy of a statement from the payee. You must enter the
Bill Name (the "payee"), your name as it appears on the
bill, the bill account number, and the street address,
city, state, ZIP, and phone number for the payee. The
information you enter will be posted to your account
for your use immediately. Note that it is YOUR
responsibility to ensure that all information entered
is correct. We are NOT responsible if, say, you enter
an incorrect account number or address and your payment
is subsequently not posted to your account.

|
|
This option allows you to view and/or change any
information on a payee record (new address, account
number, phone number, etc.).
|
|
|
|
Select this option to pay your bills. All your bill
payments are currently set up as "on demand". You may
change any of the payees to "automatic monthly bill
payments" if you so desire. Simply change the status
from "on demand" to "automatic monthly" and choose the
regularly sheduled payment date and enter the amount
(the payment will start the NEXT month from the date you
selected). Note that if you elect to change a payee to
automatic status, you should schedule the payment to be
made at least 5 business days prior to the actual due date
as you must allow time for us to send a check to the
selected payee. (As with our previous system, when you
make a payment, the amount is deducted from your account
on the next business day at which time we mail a check).
|
|
|
For on demand payments, you can select any payment date
you want — but this cannot be the current date!
It must be tomorrow's date or later! When choosing to
pay a bill in advance, note that you must make sure that
you have already paid the current month's statement
before scheduling the next month's payment. Remember to
make sure the scheduled pay date is at least 5 days in
advance of the actual due date of the bill.
|
|
|
|
This option allows you to delete a payee should you elect
to stop paying them through Bill Payment or should you
close your account with that payee. You must zero out
any future payments due before you can delete a payee.
|
|
|
|
If you have scheduled a payment with a selected payee and
wish to stop that scheduled payment, choose this option.
Note that you cannot stop a payment that has already
been posted to your account! To inquire about stopping a
payment already posted, please call (800) 562-0312
extension 226.
